They have a less cryptic post on their YouTube channel. Would make a nice coach on the bench. Don't see him contributing much beyond that.

It's only a matter of time

I’m shocked the Warriors, Nuggets or Clippers haven’t grabbed him. He’s still good for 15 minutes a night.

we just dont need him with Randle/Toppin/Knox on the roster and he's not a shooter

Definitely seems suss we didn’t re-sign him and no one did. Also we need a backup PF/C.

I think we need a 3rd string C/PF. Also he was a good mentor for Mitch.

once burke and OBI get healthy, knox may be out of the rotation. Taj would just be a good locker room dude

Anything to get Randle off 40+ mins. Last thing I want is an injury.

Obi is going to have to earn his time...I don't think he should be automatically given minutes after what he's shown us so far.

Just saying.

I’d like to think Knox given his age and potential continues the theme: Just cuz you can’t see it don’t mean it can’t happen!
Randle, Quick, Mitch Barrett and the record after 8 games of 5-3! IM suprised as are most of us! Its a good thing.
THere is no status quo here. Let’s keep pushing. Knox small batches are building blocks.
Obi is part of this too. Injuries will happen and others will get opportunities.

Knox is contributing. Are you nuts? He's needed. Dump Knox for Taj is ridiculous.

I was surprised Taj wasn't brought back to begin with. I think he's better than Nerlenes Noel.

Not as active at the C spot as Noel (he is 35 now) and I think it was just a numbers game considering Randle, Obi

Maybe, something about Noel's game I just don't like. He just doesn't seem to have much impact to me. He's a defensive big that isn't strong enough to guard the bigger post players and not quick enough to guard the faster bigs. He's got bad hands and doesn't need to be guarded. He's only fairly active on the boards and doesn't generate many second possessions. I guess for a backup big he's fine, but I think we need an upgrade there eventually.
